‘Join the Choir’ Sundays

Do you like to sing?

Does the ministry of the choir speak to you?

Have you been in a choir before?

Have you not been in a choir, but want to try?

Please consider joining us on a “Join the Choir” Sunday!

What is required?

At 9:15 a.m., gather with the choir in the chancel to rehearse a simple anthem. During the liturgy you’re more than welcome to join the choir for the entire liturgy, or join them during the peace and you can return to your pew during the presentation hymn, or after receiving Communion.
